750 Give Me a Chance to Wag My Tail at Him

She stared at the present for a very long time before opening it up. It was a glass snow globe, and inside the snow globe was a house covered in snow. The colors of the snow globe were very bright.

Lin Ran pouted. "Are you coaxing me like a kid?"

Although Lin Ran said this, she placed the snow globe on the bed. She then took out her phone and sat on her bed, sending Lin Nuan a message. She had typed out the words "thank you" and was about to send it out when her finger paused right before she hit the send button.

After giving it some thought, she deleted the message and typed: I don't have a Christmas present for you!

After the message was sent out, Lin Ran used the towel to dry her wet hair. She hadn't put down the phone.

"Ding-dong—"

Lin Ran heard the message notification and tapped it open.

'Lin Nuan: You're welcome!'

Lin Ran frowned, and her ears turned red. Who was thanking her?

Putting her phone aside, Lin Ran picked up her Christmas present again and shook it. She felt that the world inside was so beautiful that it felt unreal!

She looked around and then placed the snow globe onto her dressing table. As she looked at the floating snowflakes in the snow globe, her lips curled up unknowingly.

…

Gu Qingcheng didn't keep his word that night. He didn't go to Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an's new residence.

Yun Liuli had changed into a beautiful dress, and her gaze, which was looking out the window, turned from brightly lit to being calm and lonely.

Aunt Blessing had prepared a lot of good food. Chuckling, she said that she also managed to catch up to the trend and got to celebrate a western festival.

The hot food was served. Yun Liuli sat by herself on the carpet in front of the full-length window. Her skin was fair, and her fairness still stood out a lot despite having the falling snowflakes as the background.

Yun Liuli was alone. It was as if she was in the world outside, not tainted by any life.

She walked over, and before she got close, she could feel the coldness coming from outside the window.

"Xiao Liuli, dinner's ready!" Lin Nuan thought that Yun Liuli was feeling sad that Gu Qingcheng hadn't come. It was only after she walked over that she saw a faint smile hanging on the girl's lips.

"Sister Nuan…" Yun Liuli's eyes, which were illuminated an amber color, seemed shrouded by a thin layer of chiffon. "Am I very pitiful? I just live my days in my memories, recalling the bits and pieces of the moments I shared with Gu Qingcheng. I then hope that Gu Qingcheng will be able to take pity on the fact that I only have the precious few memories with him and for him to give me a chance to wag my tail at him."

Lin Nuan's heart ached at Yun Liuli's words.

Yun Liuli's love toward Gu Qingcheng had put her at such an inferior stand.

Yun Liuli didn't cry. She smiled beautifully, and her eyes were clear. Her clean and elegant disposition was tainted by a layer of grief, glistening under the bright lights.

Lin Nuan had no idea if Gu Qingcheng had only treated Yun Liuli as his adopted daughter. She didn't dare to say anything to encourage Yun Liuli to be brave and chase after her own love. She only said, "Let's go! How is your life only filled with the memories you have of Gu Qingcheng? We can't let down Aunt Blessing's delicacies! Get up and fill your stomach first!"

Yun Liuli had always been a lady whose thoughts were more mature than her looks. She knew to quit when she was ahead. The greatest kindness that Lin Nuan had given her was not berating her by saying that she didn't care about ethics and liked her own adoptive father.

She nodded, her beautiful eyes curling. However, the smile didn't reach her eyes. She was the one who wanted to work hard to get closer to Lin Nuan, but for some reason, she felt distant from Lin Nuan.

That night, Lin Nuan and family stayed at the new residence. Yun Liuli was still young, and her childish side soon got the better of her, and she played well with Tuan Tuan.

After dinner, all of them sat by the fireplace and watched television shows, opened up the presents that Lin Nuan brought, and ate fruits…

Lin Nuan turned to ask Fu Huai'an, "Has Little Lu delivered Fu Tianci's Christmas present?"

Fu Huai'an nodded. "Yes!"

Lin Nuan had also prepared a Christmas present for Fu Tianci, a set of headphones. Fu Tianci liked music, so headphones were ideal for him!

She felt that Fu Tianci, who usually conducted himself in a carefree manner, actually lacked affection and would feel very happy upon receiving a present!

Yun Liuli opened up her present. It was a set of white earmuffs and a hat that was furry and especially cute. She liked it a lot. Tuan Tuan also took out his Christmas present and showed off that his mama knitted it.

They went on until 10:30 pm, and then Aunt Blessing urged Tuan Tuan to bed. She said that children who go to sleep too late wouldn't be able to grow tall.

Yun Liuli also took her Christmas presents and returned to her room happily.

Those days, Aunt Blessing had spoiled the servants at the new residence. The mess left on the dining room table was still there, with no one cleaning it up.

Aunt Blessing cleaned up by herself as usual. Lin Nuan wanted to help but was sent back to her room by Aunt Blessing and Uncle Blessing. They told her and Fu Huai'an to have a good rest.

Fu Huai'an watched on silently, planning to fire this batch of people who were paid high salaries but didn't do any work the next day.

"Let's go!" Fu Huai'an tugged Lin Nuan's wrist. "Given their characters, if they say that they don't want you to do it, they won't let you do it! Let's go upstairs and see your dessert!"

When Fu Huai'an said the word dessert with his deep and mature voice, it had a hint of intimate allure to it. Redness crept up Lin Nuan's ears. Not wanting to let Aunt Blessing and Uncle Blessing see her in this state, Lin Nuan could only follow Fu Huai'an upstairs with her thumping heart.

The moment they entered the room, Lin Nuan bit her lip and said, "Don't tell me that the dessert you're referring to is yourself!"

This was the "dessert" present that Lin Nuan thought of while racking her brain when she was heading upstairs.

"I'm already yours. Don't think of me as being so stingy, taking something that belongs to you to give you as a gift!" Fu Huai'an embraced Lin Nuan, pulling her back tightly against his chest.

I'm already yours… These few words caused Lin Nuan's head to be thrown into a whirl.

"Promise that it won't be another set of sexy lingerie!" Lin Nuan turned and looked at Fu Huai'an.

"Who is so childish, to change the dessert to an appetizer just because the appetizer tastes good?" Fu Huai'an said, putting on a serious front.

Lin Nuan decided to believe him. "Where's the present?"

The phone in Fu Huai'an's pocket vibrated. He freed one hand to bring it out to take a look. Seeing that it was Gu Qingcheng, he kissed the top of Lin Nuan's head and said, "It's under the pillow. Go and take a look. I'll take this call."

Lin Nuan ran over to the bed and lifted up the pillow while Fu Huai'an headed to the windows and picked up the call.

When Lin Nuan was with Fu Huai'an, she was like a little girl, starting to feel anticipation for the present.

A pair of earrings that were of the same series as the necklace Lin Nuan was wearing laid in the gift box. Lin Nuan raised her head and took a look at the man who was standing in front of the window with one hand in his pocket while answering the call. She felt that she had thought too poorly of Fu Huai'an, that he was too lecherous.

En, she should apologize to him later…

Fu Huai'an turned and saw his wife looking at him lovingly. He put out his finger and pointed to the other pillow.

Was there another present?

Could it be a matching bracelet?

Lin Nuan crept up onto the bed and happily flipped over the other pillow. She immediately turned red and pressed the pillow down fiercely, turning her head to glare at Fu Huai'an. Lin Nuan decided to take back her words of apology. Fu Huai'an was a lecher!
